Why Care?

People are living longer than ever, and most of our elders need CARE.

But nursing homes can be expensive and isolating, and very few want to live in one anyway.

The result: too often, families are stretched thin.

This Is Our Chance to...

Save

People Money

Create

Good Jobs

Make

People Happier

...by bringing care HOME.

But to make it possible, we need a plan...and your help!

That's why we're calling for:

More Support for Families

"“When it comes to caring for my mom, it’s me or me. I got a job but ended up losing it because I couldn’t be on call.
I’m in the same catch-22 that so many other families are in - earning too much to qualify for Medicaid, and too little to afford
out-of-pocket care. Should it be this hard?”-Karon H.Family Caregiver, Missouri

Good Jobs for Caregivers

"“I love being a home care worker and I work hard - sometimes 16 hours a day. But no matter how many hours I put in,
the pay is so low that I can’t support myself and my daughters on my paycheck. I have a subsidized apartment and have been on food stamps,
and still wonder how I’m going to afford my car insurance.”- Adelaide M.Professional Caregiver, Maine

Real Choices for Seniors

"“I’ve been fiercely independent my entire life, but I’ve come to learn that getting help is really not that bad. My guardian angel,
Jennifer, comes in every day. Instead of diminishing me, it empowers me to return to the life I led before the stroke. So now, I think of myself
as a very independent person...with benefits.”- Bev E.Retired School Teacher, New York
